Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. I think it is a good question.
The Canada 21 report the hon. member refers to was the result of a blue ribbon panel that looked at the overall security of Canada. I tell the hon. member the department has reviewed the recommendations at first blush and is still looking at them in detail. Some of the recommendations are not necessarily conducive to the Department of National Defence because they refer to security in the overall sense.
We are looking at all the recommendations. While I would not want to comment on this one specifically, I would take this opportunity to say that one of the strong recommendations with respect to defence is that a defence policy review be conducted. I am pleased to report to the House that it is well under way.
